The Shenandoah County Agricultural
Society is the youngest organization of
the kind in the state, but it is the first to
ioin the National Association, thus plac-
ing itself at the head, in character and en-
terprise, at the very outset Our people
do not appreciate the value Of this Society,
not only to the county but the entire val
lev. its influences are far reaching and not
confined to home circles. Its premium
list is now in the hands Of printers and is
the most attractive ever presented in the
state. Persons desiring to contribute spe-

The long dry and extremely hot wealth.
er has made the roads very dusty, in some
places where the soil is light the dust is
not less than three or four inches in depth.
The bicycle riders complain Of it, it makes
their machines pull very heavy and dead
The merchants are also complaining as
every passing vehicle raises thick, stirling
clouds that sift through everywhere and
settle on their goods and just play havoc
with them.

The threshing machines are buslly at
work in all directions and new wheat is
daily pouring into market. The quality
is not as good as a general thing as was
expected, while the yield falls far below
the expectations of the best Judges
Various reasons are assigned for this I'M
expected condition of the crop. Many
think it was the late sowing and bad con-
dition of the ground last fall, and others
think the late frosts in the spring injured
il while the bloom was on. 1t is more
than probable that all the above men,
toned causes combined to lnjure the

The boys OF the HERALD Office went
swimming few days ago. When the
water first struck their hides they yelled
like Indians and acted as if they had by
drOphobia. One Of them remarked that
it was the funniest experience they ever
had, and that they had no idea that water
was so pleasant. They turned the water
of the river as black as ink for miles be-
low where they went in.

Fork of the Shenandoah river. He drew
the water of, and by the use of net he
succeeded in cacthing three of Them
one weighed lbs, one 81, and the other
81. They were very palitable. No doubt
Mr.. Hess will watch his chance to make
another such sharp haul.

StauniOn indicator; Tuesday night two
freight trains collided on the n. n. x NJ.
V. Road, at Craigsville. Causc-a mis-
placed switch. Both engines were wreck
ed, and Brakeman Coilman, of Charlottes-
vile, was seriously hurt his throat being
cut.
Saturday morning last there was an ac-
cldent on the c. & O. Road at Smoky Row,
near Hebron Church, broken rail was
the cause. Three cars of freight train
that was passing were thrown from the
track and down an embankment. In one
of the cars was Mr.. Buster, the conductor
of the train and although his car turned
over several times, he was, strange to
say, not fatally injured. The thought
that naturally strikes one is that it is very
fortunate that the train was not a passen-
ger conveyance.
Heretofore the Newport News and Mis-
sssippi Valley Co., has been transferring
its freight for the North to the Virginia
Midland Road at Charlottesville. Now q
change has taken place and the big com
pany with the big name is sending ITS
freight for the North--Baltmor Phila.
delphia, New York, &c, over the Valley
and B. q 0. Roads from stanton. This
is an important item for the latter line,
and one which will add no little to its rev.
enues, as the cars of freight received from
the n. n. & NJ V. number from thirty to
forty per day.

81 belonged to the Engineer
corps that surveyed the route for
the Northern Pacific railroad, said
Amos r n Smith, now of Jersey
City, "and one day, while seeking
a little recreation, was witness
of a scene in wild western life which
l have NJ doubt there are plenty
of people would travel far to see if
it could only be reproduced, but
which wouldn't be spectator of
again for good many round gold
dollars.
81 left our camp at Young Mems
ButteS one day in July to try my
luck at trout fishing in the head
waters Of Big Heart river, a small
stream five miles from camp. The
weather had been hot and dry for
some time, and when l got over to
the river | found the head waters
were not much better than dry
land, all the moisture could find
being little puddles here and there
in the bed. The only water likely
to be found in that quarter with
fish in it was the Big Cannon Ball
river, and that was twenty miles
away, so concluded that the best
thing tor me to do would be to
march right back TO camp. There
was heavy thicket along the north
bank of the stream, some distance
above where / came out on the dry
bed, and a few cottonwood trees
standing maybe a hundred yards
back from the bank. AS / turned
to retrace my steps / saw a small
herd of wild cattle standing off to
my right. Among them was a
young bull, and a nore splendid
specimen Of an animal / never saw.
He and the rest OF the cattle we're
cycling me with suspicious curiosity.
